> Yet tobacco, which is completely free of therapeutic effects

 

Jeffery and all,

 

Tobacco is hardly " completely free of therapeutic effects. " The fact is that

tobacco has a wide range of therapeutic value, largely over-looked (probably

do to the stigma pinned to it) by herbalists today. Tobacco has a long

history of use mostly as an external medication. Internally it is used for

diarrhea, asthma, skin diseases, and urinary complaints. Externally it is a

class one liniment for trauma with inflammation and swelling. Finally,

tobacco has been and still is an important part of ceremony among many

Native American traditions.

 

I use tobacco extensively in external preparations and have found it quite

useful for acute asthma in some individuals.
